From the shows you do get to make time for, who are some of your standouts or present-day favourites?

"AJ Styles has been amazing, he's been like a Shawn Michaels replacement in WWE. I like Kevin Owens, but did more so when he first came in and feuded with John Cena. That was really good. I'm not so sure since then, he's gotten into WWE comedy a little bit too much, but the recent stuff with Chris Jericho has been good.

Apart from those guys, I could see someone like John Cena wrestling for another ten years. You've got guys in their fifties doing a few matches a year, so theres no reason why he couldn't keep going.

And he never gets injured, or if he does, he just seems come back straight away no matter how serious they are!

I watched TNA for a while, so it's really great to see AJ, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe have all finally made it to WWE, even though it looks like Aries will only be part of their Cruiserweight division."
